Screw that. And a Neurologist better agree too.

If he has a little bleed and you give tPA, you may as well have shot him in the head.

And the sudden onset (apparently) of symptoms. He collapsed and could not open his eyes due to pain. That is like the "thunderclap" or "worst headache of my life." Would take some stones for a doc to ask for tPA without a CT scan.

No way Kubiak got tPA without a CT scan showing no bleed.

And to the guy who has TIA's, I hope you take at least an aspirin a day, and have had a full workup (hypercoagulable workup since you're young, carotid dopplers, echo, and at least a holter monitor if not an implantable monitor to rule out paroxismal afib).
